This 1960s John Widdicomb highboy dresser is a refined example of the clean, architectural cabinetry that made the Grand Rapids maker a mark of quality American mid century modern design. Built in walnut, the tall chest shows warm, book-matched grain across the drawer fronts, accented by slim rosewood pulls that run as vertical strips down the drawers and as a pair of bar handles on the upper compartment. The restrained lines and contrasting wood tones give the piece a quiet, tailored presence.
The highboy offers generous vertical storage in a compact footprint. A wide top compartment sits above a bank of long graduated drawers, providing room for folded clothing and everyday essentials while keeping the silhouette tall and streamlined. The rosewood pulls are integrated into the fronts for a smooth, uncluttered look, and the chest is raised on round tapering legs that lift it lightly off the floor. It suits a bedroom where floor space is limited but storage is needed.
This highboy dresser is in vintage as-pictured condition, showing wear consistent with age and use including surface wear, finish inconsistencies, and minor imperfections throughout. These characteristics contribute to the original vintage appeal and authenticity that many collectors appreciate. For those looking for a fully refinished example, we also offer a restored option. Restoration includes a complete professional refinishing process with sanding, staining, glazing, toning, and lacquering, along with functional adjustments to ensure all drawers operate smoothly and the dresser is ready for everyday use.
